Kohelette

By Callie J. Smith

"A story full of revelation, resonance, and heart " --Dheepa R. Maturi, author of 108: an Eco-Thriller

She wants to do something new with her life, but she may need the dead to help her do it.

When Kohelette ("Lettie") loses her job, she needs a new way to support her family. She also needs to deal with her critical ex-spouse, Ian, who shows up after years of silence wanting to reconnect with their daughter. Emotional and financial pressures mount, and Lettie considers selling the family house, but the ghosts of relatives intervene. They keep reminding her about the family dream of opening a yarn shop in the front room, and she's realizing she might want to make that dream her own. But will Lettie find a way to keep the house before losing more than she even knew she had?

Domestic fiction meets magical realism in this story of piecing together a life after loss.
